Edible Evergreen Myrtle Collection

We have carefully curated a collection of our edible evergreen myrtles which not only will be loved by you, but your gardens wildlife too. 

The Edible Evergreen Myrtle Collection contains one of each plant in either a 7 or 8cm pot.

Luma apiculata - Chilean Myrtle (15cm tall): An evergreen shrub that produces masses of pretty, pure white flowers in mid-summer, attracting the bees and butterflies. The flowers have a beautiful peach like scent and are the most extraordinary looking with long, curling stamens on the older flowers. The cinnamon branches are sculptural and contrast beautifully against its dark green leaves. Our Chilean Myrtle looks great planted in the ground, placed in the conservatory or it can make a stunning patio plant. 

Ugni montana - Mexican Guava (8-10cm tall): A dwarf fruit shrub, up to 2ft tall only, can bear hundreds of black berries. Slow growing, excellent in pots. It can withstand temperatures down to -5c.      

Lophomyrtus obcordata - New Zealand Myrtle (Rohutu) (10-15cm tall):The New Zealand Myrtle is a densely branched, elegant, dwarf like shrub. It has decorative, green- yellow, purple foliage with tiny leaves all year round. During the Summer, 1cm wide myrtle like, fragrant, white flowers bloom. Later on in the year, Lophomyrtus obcordata produces edible black berries. Hardy to temperatures as low as -10C.
